hello Alex,
I am in a similar kind of situation, having pain only during initial BM and when I apply the niphedipine ointment internally I can feel a small pea-sized boil which is probably a hemorrhoid. I know your post is quite old, but just in case you are notified of this could you please let me know how it went with you ? have you completely healed up ? appreciate if you can share any info that will be helpful in my case as well.
